Love,

Darren.

My guest this week is Conor Maynard musical artist and also social media powerhouse.

With over 2.5 billion views on Youtube and nearly 2 billion Spotify streams, Conor Maynard is a YouTube pioneer and one of the first music talents to transition from online to IRL pop-stardom

His debut album Contrast hit number one in the UK charts and what has followed has been the stuff of dreams: world tours, multiple awards and collaborations with some of the industry’s biggest names including Pharrell, BTS, Justin Bieber and Ne-Yo.

Just as the pandemic hit in March 2020, Conor reflected on that stratospheric debut 10 years on and made the huge decision to step out on his own as an independent artist. His latest release +11 Hours is out now and you can listen to it right here.

In this chat we talked about his career, relationships and time differences!

Enjoy!

Darren.

This week on The Number, I was delighted to spend time with David Collins, creator of the internationally successful series Queer Eye.

David is a seven time Emmy award winning producer and creative powerhouse who co-founded the TV and film production company Scout Productions over 25 years ago. More importantly, he is also a father to twin girls who he co-parents with his ex-partner.

In this conversation David shared what it was like coming from Ohio and making his way in the world. Running away to New York when he was 14, the realities of co-parenting teenage girls and how he always felt growing up, that a full and exciting life was ahead of him - he just had to run towards it.

I hope you love it as much as I do.

Love,

Darren.
